I was sorry to hear about Joe's passing. While I knew Joe for many years from the fire service and Cranston Heights Fire Company, I never knew until recently that he was a Salesianum alum and graduated just a year before me. Sending my most sincere condolences to Joe's entire family.

Dear Shea and family,
You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this sad time and lots of love being sent.
Love, Maria
Riley family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Joe at WSMS for many years, as well as brothers, Tommy, Mike, Bob, and Chris. I have so many great memories of fun times. Joe and I sat in adjoining offices, and talked many times about work, and personal things, and I know he loved his Cathy and the girls. He was well respected in his field.
I know he will be missed, and please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers throughout this time.

Cathy, Shannon and family, I don't think a day went by at The Back Clinic that Joe's name didn't come up for some reason. I know he will be greatly missed and my thoughts are with you all. I'll always remember his sage advice of "you go up the hill, then you go down the hill". Love to you all, Holly
